23
Do not refrain from speaking at the proper moment, and do not hide your wisdom.
24
For wisdom becomes known through speech, and education through the words of the tongue.
25
Never speak against the truth, but be ashamed of your ignorance.
26
Do not be ashamed to confess your sins, and do not try to stop the current of a river.
27
Do not subject yourself to a fool, or show partiality to a ruler.
